Dr Esteban Urzola provided me a comprehensive dental plan to fully restore my smile using crowns and dental implants
Dr. Urzola is just the best! I'm from the US and the quality of his work is better than any dentist I've had, for way much less cost. He genuinely cares about his clients and goes out of the way to make sure they are satisfied. And they are! Would highly recommend to anyone, can't stress this enough.
I received better care at Urzola Dentistry than in my 42 years of twice-a-year dental visits in the United States. From my first interaction with Beatrize at the front desk, to Jose who handled airport transportation, to the dental assistants and Dr. Urzola himself, every part of the experience was exceptional. The team was prompt, organized, and extremely thorough. From the initial quote to hotel…

l arrangements and airport pickup, everything happened exactly as planned. Dr. Urzola spent about 40 minutes with me in his office—not in the dental chair—clearly explaining my options and the details of each procedure. He welcomed questions, listened carefully, and has impeccable bedside manner. I appreciated that other specialists, including an endodontist, were on staff that day. I had three implant screws placed and a tooth extracted, yet experienced minimal pain or inflammation the following day. The entire experience was impeccable—and the cost being about one-quarter of what I was quoted in the U.S. was simply icing on the cake.
Great experience. Talented, caring staff. Perfection is number one here, as is client satisfaction. Second session here and was extremely happy with the outcome both times. Highly recommend Dr Urzola and his team.
For years I wanted to go through this medical and aesthetic process but was unsure where to go. Finding Urzola Dentistry was the best decision I could have made. From day one, the team treated me like family and made me feel comfortable and confident throughout the entire process. The location is very convenient, within walking distance to hotels and restaurants, and the staff was always…

Rican people in general . Coming back in 4 months for the final Zirconia phase. Couldn't be happier with decision made so far.
My uncle helped me coordinate visiting with Dr. Urzola's office. I needed a lot of expensive work done, work that I would never be able to afford in the United States. Everything was very easy, once I booked my flight the staff worked with me via WhatsApp to get me from the airport to the hotel, and then to their office which is very near by. The staff at Dr. Urzola's office speaks English, if…

you are not bi-lingual it won't be a problem for you. They are all very kind, understanding, and gentle people. I was scared to begin the services that I needed, but knowing I was in such good hands really made things so much easier. I am truly grateful for my beautiful smile and I would encourage anyone who is considering visiting this office to stop thinking about it and just do it.
The care I have received from Dr. Urzola and his team has been exceptional! They took the time to listen to my concerns and answered every question. I never felt pressured and was encouraged to take as much time as I wanted to make decisions. They eased the stress of medical travel by taking care of all lodging and transportation needs allowing us to simply rest and recover. After airfare the cost…

came to 1/3 what I would have spent at home. Even if costs were all the same, I would be hard pressed to not choose Dr. Urzola again. Health care is simply different in Costa Rica.

Dearest Tim, Dr. Esteban Urzola and our Urzola Dentistry family wish to thank you for entrusting us with your pivotal transformation and know that your connection with our team and with Costa Rica will endure throughout your entire lifetime. Onward and upward!
My experience at Urzola Dental exceeded every expectation. Traveling from Florida was effortless thanks to Cristina and Beatriz, who ensured everything went smoothly. I’m delighted with my results and wholeheartedly recommend them for all your dental care needs.
I came to Urzola Dentistry to have a full set of implants done, and upon doing X-ray and 3d scans, Dr. Esteban advised me that it made more sense to keep my teeth in tact because my foundations were really good. We decided to go with a full set of crowns, and 3 individual implants with a deep gum cleaning. The crowns look so good and fit so well, my confidence has skyrocketed to an all time high…

because not only are they white, but they’re perfectly straight, while maintaining a natural appearance. Beyond all that, the whole team at Urzola make you feel extremely welcomed as if you’re family. They’re very accommodating with your hotel as well, ensuring you have easy access to the office. It is very worth the trip to Costa Rica to visit the Urzola team!
The staff and care were truly top-notch. Traveling to another country can feel overwhelming, but Dr. Urzola and his team welcomed us with open arms and made us feel completely safe and supported. My husband and I could not be happier with the results. Much love and appreciation to his team! I would recommend him to anyone!
This state-of-the-art aesthetic and implant dentistry practice exceeded all of my expectations. They made coming from the U.S. for my dental work so easy with U.S. phone numbers and fully bilingual staff, U.S. banking accounts for easy payment options, ground transportation and lodging arrangements, exact treatment pricing and use of the most current dental technology anywhere. Dr. Urzola…

a patiently answered all my questions at every stage of treatment and when work beyond the original scope was suggested it was done in a very timely and reasonable cost manner. Total spend for me was much less than half of what I would have paid at home (NC). That included two round trip airfares. You might find other well priced international sources for aesthetic and implant dentistry but you won't find a more skilled, reliable or accommodating practice.
Great place for dentistry. Everyone here is very professional and knowledgeable. But most importantly they are super honest good people. It's worth the trip from the US
I cannot say enough good things about my experience with Dr. Urzola and his staff. I traveled from the United States after spending a year and a half researching on who I would want to do my all on 6 implants. I could not be any more pleased. The staff is absolutely amazing and accommodating and the results confirmed everything my research had turned up. I head back home extremely satisfied and…

look forward to my return in four months for my permanent zirconia implants. Thank you Cris, Beatrice, Dr Jose and his great patients and a huge shout out to Dr Urzola for putting together such an incredible team and practice!
My experience was amazing. They were very friendly. They are courteous and they made me feel extremely comfortable. The office was amazingly clean. I can’t wait to go back. I would recommend this to anyone.
I am extremely happy with the implants I received from Dr. Urzola. I traveled from the US to Costa Rica to have the implants placed and the staff was so helpful and friendly throughout planning and the procedure. I would highly recommend Urzola Dentistry to anyone and will continue to use them myself.

this was from last april but i am writing it late because I had to wait until my treatment has been succuessfully completed without any issues or complications. The customer service was very professional, and I truly appreciate that. However, I’m giving 4 stars because they refused to offer a discount or flexible payment plan or something that would really help someone with a low income who is…

just trying to make ends meet. The good news is that I was able to find a reputable dentist in Houston who provided the exact same service with the same price which was $500, and I didn’t have to travel abroad to get it done. That said, I still highly recommend this place for Americans living in more expensive cities like New York or Los Angeles, where options like this could be much more affordable in comparison.
A Life-Changing Experience with Dr. Esteban Urzola and His Exceptional Team in Costa Rica Traveling from South Florida to Costa Rica for dental work was a decision I did not make lightly, especially as someone who is truly dental phobic. But from the moment I walked into Dr. Esteban Urzola’s clinic, every fear and hesitation began to dissolve. Dr. Urzola is not only a remarkably skilled…

ed professional but a deeply compassionate human being. I underwent multiple extractions and implants—procedures that would typically leave me riddled with complete anxiety—but he approached each step with an extraordinary level of gentleness, patience, and care. He took the time to explain everything thoroughly, never rushing, and always ensuring I felt safe and informed. His bedside manner is unmatched, and his confidence and precision put me completely at ease. But this review would be incomplete without highlighting two truly wonderful members of his team: Cristina, the coordinator, and Beatriz, the warm and attentive dental concierge. Cristina was my guiding light from day one—organizing everything seamlessly, answering all my questions, and providing ongoing support throughout my treatment. Beatriz made me feel welcome every single day, as though I were part of a family rather than just a patient. Their kindness, professionalism, and genuine concern for my comfort and well-being were beyond anything I have ever experienced in a medical setting. The rest of the staff also deserves praise—they are friendly, professional, and clearly passionate about the work they do. The entire team works together like a well-oiled machine, with an atmosphere of calm, dignity, and kindness that sets this clinic apart. And then, there’s the pricing. Compared to the astronomical costs quoted by U.S. dentists, the fairness and transparency of Dr. Urzola’s rates were astonishing. Not only did I receive top-tier, world-class care, but I did so without the financial burden that so often comes with quality dental work in the United States. I will be recommending Dr. Urzola and his team to anyone I know in need of dental care—especially those who are fearful or have had poor experiences elsewhere. This clinic has changed the way I see dentistry entirely. They gave me not just a healthier smile, but a renewed trust in what compassionate care can look like. With deepest gratitude, Samantha W.

What truly stood out was how much effort the team put in to ensure everything was perfect—I honestly didn’t expect such a high level of commitment! If you’re considering dental care in Costa Rica, I highly recommend Dr. Urzola and their practice. Thank you all so much for the outstanding care—I couldn’t be happier!
Urzola Denistry, is second to NONE!!!!!! Nothing more to say. The professionalism of the staff from Valeria to Dr. Uzolas colleague, and anestia Dr. were simply the best, and thats why the way to go more often than not is to get implants abroad because its just an experience you cannot AFFORD to pass up! And thats why enough cant be said. So, im just gonna shut my mouth at that! Thanks Urzola…
